Book Review: The Guide to Translation and Localization
The Guide to Translation and Localization does not provide exhaustive step-by-step instructions. It does get to the core of the localization process, provides a good sense of the process' complexity and the range of skill sets required to prepare a product for the global marketplace.

For over half of the last ten years, I have worked freelance, as a technical writer and as a desktop publisher specializing in localization.

PAL: A Nascent Organization for Localization Professionals
A new organization—PAL (Professional Association for Localization)—will "serve and represent those who prepare software and documentation for the world." The organization's focus will be "its member translators, localizers, internationalizers, and globalizers." PAL is an ambitious and much-needed endeavor, an idea whose time has come.

A Hard Science
Human communications, breathtakingly complex, difficult if not impossible to quantify, tabulate and interpret with any degree of certainty, may never bend to the rigors of a hard science. Localization goes to the heart of human communications and figures out what makes it tick.

An International Cast of Characters
One of the fundamental challenges to software localization and Web site globalization is the chaotic character of character encoding. Character set standards, from ASCII to Unicode, attempt to methodize the madness, calm the chaos, and make the world safe for multilingual computing.

Canada's Bilingualism: Problem or Potential?
Canada belongs to a rather select fraternity of countries that is officially bilingual. Far from a liability, as it is often portrayed, if valued, properly understood and embraced, bilingualism might give Canada a distinct commercial edge.

Color Counts
To reach a desired audience, many factors must be considered when choosing colors: age, income level, gender, and the essential nature of the "message". The larger and more diverse the audience, the more complicated the choice becomes. Choosing colors to satisfy a global audience can be a mind-boggling undertaking.

Getting a Handle on Content Management
There are almost as many types of Web sites as there are web masters. Web site globalization only complicates the task of content management further. The dynamism of the medium makes effective globalization a constant challenge.

IMHO
"You lucky so-and-so! You make your own hours," people say to freelancers. "No alarm clock, no commute, no suit, no tie, no panty hose, no fixed lunch hours, no dog and pony shows for the clients from out of town ..." Contrary to popular belief, life as a freelancer is not a lark, a walk in the park with Fido and a double capuccino at 3:00.

Translation: The Brave New World
Used to be that a college degree, a collection of dictionaries, a typewriter and a supple intellect were all you needed to be a translator. New technology, perhaps starting with affordable PCs, changed that. These days, being a language wiz is not enough to stay on the cutting edge in translation. Computer savvy, string decryption and mind reading skills also come in handy.

What Now?
Client companies and industry providers are battening down the hatches and bailing, throwing all but the essentials overboard including the ballast. The "R" word, so long uttered only in hushed tones, now spans the headlines: Recession. Faced with a justifiably nervous client base and stressed resources, the localization industry must now come to terms with a new reality. But what is that reality?

Globalization with a Capital "G"

Why is the Summit a preoccupation and why, in a forum devoted to localization, does it deserve attention?

A recent economic slow-down in the U.S. and the failure of the dot-coms may have taken the wind out of the globalization sails. It is highly unlikely, however, that such superficial setbacks will reverse the trend. Globalization, and the debate, undoubtedly will continue for a long time to come.
